Changes to social work practice in many parts of the world and the introduction of social work in other parts of the world have raised many issues for educators. One particular area of difficulty is setting up flexible systems for social work education which will meet both individual learning needs and provide high quality professional education. To date, social work education has been traditionally delivered through taught courses that limit access to those who enjoy group learning and are physically able to attend the establishments delivering these courses. This results in a significant number of learners being deprived of learning opportunities. This paper explores the notion of open (distance) 1 learning as a model for empowering students who are unable or reluctant to attend taught courses.
